The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Donat Dienes finished 80th of 616 men in the Open division at Athens 2026, in 1:09:03, faster than 87% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:43 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:08 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:26, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 2:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
